In honor of all the men and women who have served this country server Sue Sarkesian created a POW-MIA-KIA table in recognition of Memorial Day.
The table is round-to show our everlasting concern for our POW's, MIA's and KIA's
The tablecloth is white-symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call to duty
The single red rose displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the POW's, MIA's KIA's and the loved ones and friends of these Americans who keep the faith, awaiting answers
The vase is tied with a red ribbon, symbol of our continued determination to account for our POW's, MIA's and KIA's
A slice of lemon on the bread plate is to remind us of the bitter fate of those captured, killed or missing in a foreign land
A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears endured by those captured, killed or missing and their families who seek answers
The Bible represents the strength gained though faith to sustain those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God
The glass is inverted to symbolize their inability to share this evening's drink
The chairs are empty to symbolize that our loved one cannot join us now
REMEMBER the true meaning of Memorial Day, Monday May 29, 2017
